PhilippeC Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I don't know what to do. Look to this screen capture : Internet settings ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Same here - no graphics at all, except pictures loaded from other sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoPimpKiller Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Mine just says "Icon" before or after everything and "Attachments" before some of them. Did anyone else have problems trying to even get on the site last week? I couldn't get on here for about a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I suspect the operators of the board are trying to conserve bandwidth by not permitting the transfer of any images. Several times over the past few months, this site has become unavailable with an error message that "Bandwidth has been exceeded" or some such similar message. All of the little icons and avatars and other images add up to a lot of transferred data for even a simple page like this. The site sure does not look as nice this way that is certain. I have a business account for several websites I operate which permits unlimited bandwidth for a monthly fee of 9.95 US dollars, offered by 1 and 1 (www.1and1.com). This might be worth looking into as a solution to the hosting problems ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levanel Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I suspect the same thing. Several times already when visiting SonyInsider, the site showed a bandwidth exceeded page or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have noticed there is a huge amount of activity on the average page that was never there before. I wonder if there is some JS-based feature that has gone nutso? Look at the status bar (the one that normally says "Done" quite quickly, it seems to be transferring a lotta stuff even when one's page is apparently idly. Not sure why.....

Avrin Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 It tries to download all required images, but fails, so it starts again when the page is loaded next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Right, so this is why it ran out of bandwidth, rather than vice-versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Looks like it's fixed. The only icon still not displayed is the "group_icon" for me. Its "src" parameter is not defined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I fixed this. It was simply an error on my part in our new htaccess configuration that disallows hotlinking from idiots. I forgot to add forums.minidisc.org. My apologies friends - how's everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modernaire Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I hope it gets resolved, I'd hate for the forum to feel like its being abandoned. I loved that Sony Insider logotype on the left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avrin Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) The forum is still giving me trouble. The fast reply form below stopped working completely (its height is less than one line, and it doesn't allow typing anything). And pressing the "Add Reply" or "Use Full Editor" button opens the following: As you can see, the typing area is overlaid with a nice set of toolbars, making the screen totally useless. The only way to post anything for me is from the Lo-Fi version (which is also glitchy, with some lines just a couple of pixels high). My configuration: Windows XP SP3, Internet Explorer 6.0 with all the latest updates, screen resolution 1280x800. EDIT. Enabling the RTE editor in my forum settings fixed the Add Reply window, but I am no longer able to go back to my settings. The new IP.Board engine is absolutely great!

sfbp Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just tried Xploder (version 6) too. It looks the same as yours. Firefox is fine. My guess is their updates finally broke all the crazy stuff in IE which is now gone with 7.0+. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Tried it with IE8. Still unable to go to My Settings. And the cyclic scrolling glitch (when after reaching the top of the page it starts to scroll again from the bottom) is really "nice". BTW, at least one icon is still missing: It had actually been missing long before the others disappeared.

sfbp Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've been missing settings for a while, my suspicion being that both you and I are "non-normal" members. (you're a VIP, I'm an ex-moderator). I gave up on writing for that browser already. Not to mention using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 But I was able to access My Settings just today with IE6, and enabled the RTE editor. After that the settings became totally inaccessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Finally found a way to get to My Settings. The link is as follows: http://forums.sonyinsider.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link is as follows: http://forums.sonyinsider.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core yup its the "&tab=core" which is missing from the script. Well done, hope you will pm christopher, this sounds like something that got broken in the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
